Overview
Reconstruct : Building Energy Retrofit Solutions for Canada, is a five-year project funded through an NSERC Alliance grant (2022-2026), led by Prof. Michael Jemtrud who holds the Chair in Architecture, Energy and Environment at McGill. Reconstruct aims to develop solutions to realize deep energy retrofits (DERs) of buildings, to test them through pilot projects, and to develop and implement a roadmap to accelerate their deployment to thousands of buildings across Quebec and Canada.
Buildings account for 40% of carbon emissions around the globe, and an estimated 80% of the buildings that will be standing in 2050 in Canada already exist. DERs are defined as retrofits that reduce a building’s energy usage by 50 to 70%, and have many benefits beyond energy savings, including extending building lifespan, increasing resilience, improving resident health and well-being, and easing strain on the electricity grid through decreased peak loads. Substantial funding is being allocated to accelerate their mass deployment, notably in the residential sector. Our fabric-first approach plans to use prefabricated exterior over-cladding panel solutions to facilitate the mass deployment of low-carbon DERs, complemented with high-performance active systems. We use a pilot-to-pipeline strategy whereby buildings for pilot projects are strategically selected so that solutions and processes developed and implemented in these projects can then be applied to a vast pool of similar buildings with relatively minor adjustment. Reconstruct currently intends to focus on specific building types with a high potential for impact, including schools, community centres and public multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs). The multidisciplinary Reconstruct team is made up of academic researchers and research labs collaborating with governmental, industry and community partners. It includes members from the fields of architecture, urban planning, engineering, computer science, geography, public health, industrial ecology, finance, and data science.
Responsabilities:
- Contribute to literature searches and reviews, summarizing relevant methodologies and findings into reports.
- Take a leadership role in evaluating the financial realities and constraints around retrofitting social housing MURBs, and develop tools to support decisions around DERs in social housing.
- Produce publishable papers and present at relevant conferences based on research findings.
- Act as a resource person, resolving workflow problems, and offering technical guidance to student researchers.
- Write or contribute to protocols, reports, and summaries of work completed by the research group.
- Contribute to and guide others in producing and delivering communication tools (presentations, visual communication material, information graphics, white papers, etc.) aimed at specific stakeholders at different stages in the engagement process.
- Prepare presentations, visual communication material, and information graphics to support research dissemination efforts.
- Support communications and research activities within the Reconstruct team.
- Support relationships, communications, and activities with collaborating stakeholders from Quebec and across Canada who wish to contribute to accelerating the mass deployment of deep energy retrofits.
- Assist in organizing events, including workshops, community or public consultations, by coordinating with attendees, setting up equipment or furniture, and preparing and distributing support material.
